     How do you conect to other servers in mastadon
      
====How do lists work?====


    you can not connect to the WHOLE server, only to accounts via @username@domain within your mastodon search or by full URL of the users' profile
    "See what's happening" on other instance's landing page will show you sort of "timeline" from this instance.
    "Profile directory" shows you active ppl on the server --> copy link --> enter the link into your search
    If you start following a new account no one else on your instance already follows, then the user's toot list will be empty
    the timestamp of a toot is the direct link of a toot
    paste this to your search and you will see the toot suddenly appearing in the profile of the author
    android app fedliab: you can follow feed from a whole instance but not the whole local timeline (only the known part by ppl that already are known to other ppl on your server)
    Can you demonstrate how to use the "lists" feature?
